Brooklyn Electronic Dance Round Up: Sept 27/28

Fall is back in action this weekend and there’s not a moment to lose. Starting off with Friday, Andy Butler (of Hercules and Love Affair) is making a rare DJ appearance for an extended set of 90’s inspired House and Disco alongside TIKI Disco’s Eli Escobar. Saturday presses on with the continuation of Verboten’s stageONE series (FourTet, George Fitzgerald, James Holden) in South Williamsburg, Tornado Wallace at Cameo, and Anthony Parasole spins with L.I.E.S. artists in The Panther Room. Plenty of great options to choose from whether intimate or near festival sized. Make your decisions early and save on costs with advance tickets.

A central figure to Hercules and Love Affair, Andy Butler began crafting songs for this project with his encyclopedic knowledge of the last 40 years of dance music and his experience DJing in Denver. Having released two full length albums, Andy also recently completed a compilation for the esteemed !K7 DJ-Kicks Series. It’s a mix that echoes his DJ sets’ with a dance music historical approach that’s bang up to date, revitalizing classic tracks with disco that sounds like it’s been beamed in from the 22nd Century.

Verboten is proud to announce the lineups for their second round of Verboten StageONE events, starting on Saturday September 28th with a FIXED showcase featuring FOUR TET [DJ Set], JAMES HOLDEN, GEORGE FITZGERALD, and JDH & Dave P. If you were at our first two StageONE events in July, you know to expect huge sound and video production, food vendors, games, performances and a couple of surprises. Plus, they’re keeping things fresh with a new Brooklyn venue: they’ve taken over the massive Cinemagic Studios along the beautiful Williamsburg waterfront, featuring a huge, climate controlled indoor stage, outdoor patio with city views, and our biggest light & video installation yet.

A native of Melbourne, Lewie Day has been a proponent of slow-mo, sample heavy house music under the name Tornado Wallace for the last few years. Releasing tracks on esteemed labels like Jimpster’s Delusions Of Grandeur, Sleazy Beats, Instruments Of Rapture and recently Beat In Space, Lewie flirts with styles between Disco House and Balearic progressions. He also runs a successful series of parties in his home city named Animals Dancing, an endeavor that fosters a blossoming House scene locally.
